[FOSS4G-Oceania] [Webinar software] Which hubs need a Zoom seat?

[Celina Agaton]

If you do not want the participants to interact with each other, then use
Zoom Webinar. If you want to encourage interaction, then Zoom Meetings is
the preference. You can add Webinar features to your discounted Techsoup
Zoom Pro account. You can also contact Techsoup in your country for more
details.
